Also, to those who have expressed a passing interest in the remote idea of acquiring any leftover Commodore intangible assets {assuming that (1) we can find out who has them and (2) they want only peanuts for them}, I'll be contacting my attorney today to have him get an update from the US Bankruptcy Court. Maybe we can trace what happened after ESCOM went bankrupt last July. My idea would be to acquire the rights to the source code for the ROMs, the schematics for their machines, IC masks for any custom chips, PC board artwork, engineering diagrams, manuals, and service/technical information. That's it. I don't want any inventory (which by now, I'm sure, has been dumped) or tooling. I'm up in the air about trademarks, though (I know that "Commodore" is gone, but the others like VIC, C-64, and PET may still be available). As far as any licenses that Commodore may have had (for games written by third-parties and sold under the Commodore name, for example), I don't necessarily care. Commodore's machines were developed in-house with MOS/CSG parts, so they were owned by the same company ultimately. At worst, we'd need the IC masks for any custom chips (VIC, VIC-II, SID). Sounds like the beginnings of a business case... ------------------------------------------------- Rich Cini/WUGNET - ClubWin Charter Member (6) - MCPS Windows 95/Networking
